Cool Off with Water Games, Tie-Dye for 4th of July Fun!

It’s been EXTREMELY hot here in the southern states these last several days.  Temperatures have been reaching 110 – 113 lately, but you can’t spend the entire day in the pool – especially if you don’t have one.  (That’s me) Then again – I have 4 boys who get pretty antsy when they sit inside all day….

Take a look at our post on 15 Fun Water Games and give yourself and your kids something fun to do to cool off this 4th of  July!

OR – make some Red-White and Blue Tie-Dye shirts to show your patriotism!  See our Tie-Dye tutorial HERE.

If you’re looking for more ways to have FREE Family Movie Nights – check this out!

Netflix is currently offering a 30-Day FREE Trial (It was just 2 weeks) when you sign up HERE.  If you haven’t checked it out in awhile, you’re going to love the new “Just for Kids” zone.

The regular Netflix homescreen has been split into two – and when your kids click on the “Just for Kids” Zone to pick shows, they can click on any character (see above) to watch that show.  They don’t have to read, and they won’t run into anything inappropriate.  It’s awesome – and really easy for even my 5 year old to find what he wants to watch!

FREE 1-Month Netflix Trial (New Kids Section, Great for Summer!)

The kids are out of school – and that means long hours spent playing outside, swimming, and of course…  the ever-popular refrain of “Mom, I’m boo-oored!”  Instead of scrolling through the channels hoping to find something age appropriate for a little downtime – check out the fantastic new Netflix “Just for Kids” section!  It’s built for kids 12 and under, with nothing to worry about as far as inappropriate titles – and you can have it for 1 Month for FREE!
.

Of course, you’ll get the regular Netflix experience along with it – with movies and shows you and the hubby can watch at night as you unwind – but this added feature of a “Just for Kids” section really makes me love Netflix that much more.  As usual – there are NO COMMERCIALS!  (That’s something I truly love).

.

If you decide to keep Netflix after your trial, it’s only $7.95 per month – which I find to be very worthwhile.  We are usually able to find plenty of fun choices for a movie night and rarely have to leave the house to rent a flick.
